Spring 2011

Jun 2011:
Gave a talk titled "Improving Specificity in Bright-Field Microscopy
Images of the Beating Embryonic Heart via Motion-Based Separation" at
the 12th Annual UC Systemwide
Bioengineering Symposium. It was one of the nine finalists
for Grand
Challenges in Bioengineering
Award. I gave the talk in two different sessions at the symposium, so
far this has been the biggest audience for any of my talks :)

Feb 17, 2011: My
second project for MAT259 course, The
